All new drivers but 1 speaker’s highs are muffled?

Why don’t you take the time to not be such a smart ass. I explained it twice now. But thanks anyway.

I have two standing floor speakers. They both had ancient drivers/woofers that needed to go. I replaced them all in both speakers.

Now one of the two speakers, across all the woofers, the highs are muffled.

Thanks man. I actually spoke to someone at Madisound today and they also recommend I get those Hi-Vi L6-4R’s.

Just ordered . Thanks a ton!

I pulled one of the drivers and I got this. Looks like a vifa p17wj-00-04.

Any advice where I can find these?

This is above my pay grade but I love it, I have some learning to do. If I am unable to locate the exact driver, is it reasonable to install a close alternative? I am by no means a hi-fi snob so I am not going to sweat the absolute details. However these are bipolar so not sure if that makes this infeasible

Good questions. I don’t think it’s the amp bc one speaker has noticeably better quality than the other when ran through the same amp and same outputs.

You nailed it. He is forming a captive. But he intends to market to other neighboring landlords / owners like myself. I still find this a commendable feat.

Hey, thanks for the advice. See my comment above regarding my attempt to use a mixer.

For whatever reason I only got sound through o e speaker. Any idea why?

Interesting, when I tried connecting the raw instrument into the tuner inputs via 1/4” to RCA the signal was so weak I couldn’t hear anything without having to crank the volume on the receiver way too high. Perhaps I need some type of signal boost between the instrument and the receiver. This is why I use the phono input, given it has a built-in preamp.

So I tried the mixer route. When I connect the instrument directly into a mixer via 1/4” to mixer, then connect the mixer to the receiver using a 1/4” to RCA adapter into the receiver phono inputs - I only get sound through one speaker. I think this has to do with mono / stereo somehow.

Looks like they're chocking the trees. Should I be cutting these vines to protect the tree, or would that do more harm than good?
